Nina Won Zandt's Visits to the Chicago Jail
to See "Hcr August'-An Obdurate
Jailer.
CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-Things have been GO
ing on in a very humdrum way at Cook
County Jail for day or two. If the An
archists feel any apprehension as to their
fate, no word or outward emotion betrays
it. The most nervous person in any way
connected with them seems to be Nina
Van Zandt. This has been forcibly re-
vealed by her actions Of late. A rule has
been strictly enforced admitting no Wis.,
itors within the jail after six O'Clock, but
Nina has continued her usual visits, max.
ing two or three in day lately land on one
or two occasions she has arrived after
hours, and been refused admittance.
Each time she pleaded with the jailer. and
when her pleadings failed to melt his
stony heart, she said that if she might
only be allowed to enter and take one look
at "her Augustus" face she would go away
content. She went away, but not content
eddy, for the matter-of-fact jailer insisted
that Sheriff Matson's order must be obeyed
to the letter. Anyhow, he did not think
Nina ought to see August through the bars,
unless he could be notified in advance, so.
he could don more clothes than he gener-
all wears while he is seated under his blue
lamp writing editorials for the Dyna0aiter
Zeitung. A seersucker. undershirt, a pair
Of trousers and pair of sandals usually
comprise his cell costume.
Inspector Rakneld, with one or two of
his men, have thoroughly examined the
cellars under the jail and sounded the
walls and floors to see il they had been
tunneled. These are presumed to be pre-
cautions looking toward an adverse de-
cision in the Anarchists cases.

THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Efforts in Progress at Oak View to Perfect
a Tariff Measure to Present to Congress
in December.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE tariff con-
ference at Oak View is said to be still in
progress. Secretary Fairchild and Repre-
sentative Scott, of Pennsylvania, arrived
here Monday and joined the President and
Speaker Carlisle yesterday. Mr.. Randall
arrived in town last night: but whether he
will participate in the conference or not
is not known. In an interview yesterday
afternoon, when asked Il he came here to
attend the conference, he said that he had
not come here on any mission, and that he
intended to return to Philadelphia as soon
as he placed his boy in school. He spoke
of the recent Pennsylvania Democratic con-
vention with manifest qualification, and is
pleased with the platform and with the
spirit of harmony and energy that per-
vades his party in the State.
The Star, speaking of the conference
says: "The Administration plan is almost
complete, and when it is ready it will con.
tain every point of concession they are
willing to make. This will be discussed
with Mr.. Randall, and while it is possible
that some slight change might be made at
his suggestion, if thereby they were sure
of securing his cooperation. 1t is likely
tnat In une main, tne pian Will pe auneFeu
to, and he will be put in the attitude Of
opposing the Administration if he at
tempts to block their policy in this mat
ter. 1t is party emergency that
will require all their states
manship to meet. The situation
is anomalous, and just what attitude Mr.
Randall may assume is matter of doubt.
The bill as mapped out certainly makes
a considerable concession to him from the
attitude of the majority of the party last
winter, the question is whether he will be
content to accept the compromise. There
is a possibility that an understanding
between him and Mr.. Scott was reached
at the Pennsylvania convention, but this
is matter about which nothing can Re
learned at this time.

CivIL.SERvlCE RULES.

A Response by Civil-service Commission
er OberIy Concerning the Removal Of
EmpIoyes-Merftt the Stanard.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Civil Service
Commissioner Oberly has sent, in re-
spond to an inquiry from Charles N. Row
land, chairman of the Civil-Service board
of examiners at Cincinnati, communi
cation embodying the views of the COM
mission, respecting the rights of post
master to remove carriers and clerks, ex-
cept for causes named in the Civil Service
law. "That every carrier and clerk the
commission says, Gin the Cincinnati post
office might be legally removed, for
cause, is proposition on which you need
no information. 1t is therefore concluded
that you wish to know whether, in the
opinion of the commission, efficient car
riers and clerks of good character may
be legally removed for partisan reas ons-
because they do not agree in politics with
the postmaster. The commission has
Heretofore stated, and repeats, that the
power of removal is unrestricted, except
that removal may not be legally made
for any one of the following causes:
81. Because a person in the service
has refused to contribute to a political
fund or for political purpose.
''2. Because person has refused to
render political service.
go. Because person has refused to per-
NIT the appointing officer, or any person
in the civil service to coerce his political
action.
''For any other cause any person il
legally removed for any of the causes
named, can not, under any provision OF
the Civil-Service act, demand restora-
tion."
The law fairly construed, they say, is
that entrance to the classified civil service
shall be upon the merit of the applicant
without regard to his political opinions or
affiliations, and that continuance in the
service shall be upon the employees merit,
without regard to his political opinions or
affiliations.
Therefore the appointing officer who ap.
points or refuses to appoint an applicant
because the applicant does or does not en-
terrain certain political opinions, violates
the law, and an appointing officer who re-
moves an employee because the employee re-
fuses to render political service in accord
ance with the wishes of the appointing Of
ficer, because he is not political partisan
of the appointing officer, also violates the
law.
Entertaining these views, the commits.
sion replies to your question by saying
that, in the opinion of the commission, the
postmaster at Cincinnati can not lawfully
remove any carrier or clerk for the reason
that the carrier or clerk belongs to the po-
litical party to which the postmaster is
person from the classified postal service at
Cincinnati, except for some other cause
than the employees political opinions of
affiliations"

A Mean swindler.

buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 10.-A man
giving his name as Sanders, and repre-
senting himself as the general agent for
the American Needle Company of Brook
lyn, and his home as in Chicago, came to
Buffalo ten days ago, and advertised for
number of boys to sell needles from.
house to house. Sanders occupied an Of
fee on Washington street, and engaged
about twenty-five boys, who averaged
about five dollars each every day.
When the boys came to work this morning
they found that he had skipped. He had
paid neither the rent, boys wages
or other debts he had contracted, about
five hundred dollars in all, and there is
mourning all along the line.

The Thistle Laws Low.

NEW York, Sept. s.-There was fine
breeze blowing this morning from the
northeast, and the bay was full of white
caps, and the sea choppy. An excellent
day it was for cutter racing. The Volun
teer weighed anchor at ten o'clock and got
under way. In half an hour the Yankee
craft was well down the Narrows. Yachts
men say that the Volunteer will give the
Scotch yacht every chance for friendly
spin to-day, and it is with that purpose
that General Paine has gone out. Thus
far the Thistle has declined every over
ture for trial with any of the American
yachts. Frequent chances have been
given her, especially by the Volunteer, but
Captain Barr declines all challenges.

Bold Attempt OF Boodler Ed. Mcdonald
to Break Jail.


CHICAGO, Sept. Sd. Mcdonald, Nc
Garigle's Doodle partner, made desperate.
attempt to escape from Cook County jail
few nights ago, but the fact only leaked
out last night. Two weeks ago a woman
visitor brought him long rope wrapped
around her. Mcdonald climbed to the
roof from his third floor cell and landed
in the yard. He met guard on the visit
ors' stairway, but was not challenged.
Going through an unguarded and unlocked
hall to the street, he met a lawyer, a de-
tective and deputy sheriff, but they
would not have stopped him il he had not
drawn back into dark recess. This ex-
cited the detectives suspicious, and he ran
forward and nailed the boodler.
Mcdonald knocked the detective down
and then broke for the street. The other
two men overhauled him and, after hard
struggle, overpowered him. As soon as
he saw the game was up Mcdonald uttered
shrill whistle and carriage standing
near the jail dashed away up the street.
All privileges heretofore accorded McDon-
aid have been withdrawn, and he is con-
fined in q small single cell.

Want a Chance to Vote on Local Option

LEXINGTON, Mo-, Sept. 6.-When tha
County Court convened yesterday the pc.
tition praying for an election on the Local
Option measure was presented. The court
heard arguments on the matter from both
sides, and then deferred making any dec,-
sion until Thursday. This action war en-
tirely unexpected, and whether it maans
that the election will be ordered Or re
fused is hard to determine. The petision
contained very few more than the neces
sary number of names, and asked for an
election in the county only, as a separate
petition is necessary for the city, and
must be presented to the council. The
longer the election is deferred the wea ker
grows the Local-Option earse.
